Handy extras for easy installation

AudioQuest includes sequential footage markers on the cable jacket to simplify measuring. Directional arrows tell you which way the signal should flow through the cable for the best sound.

Durable in-wall- and direct burial-rated speaker wire

When you're running wire inside your walls or underground, it's important that you use speaker cable that's approved for that purpose. This cable's CL3 certification means it passed NEC (National Electric Code) safety tests for in-wall usage. AudioQuest's FLX cables are also rated for direct burial. You can run FLX cables to your outdoor speakers and bury them in the ground without a protective conduit.

Great wires for my system

My second 50 ft box after i used the first to connect to monitor audio silver fx surround pair. Listened first to two tower MA silver 9i biwired with the expensive MIT terminator 2 and played Jim Croce time in a bottle thru a high end MM phono with Ortofon cartridge and diamond needle. I could not tell a difference in sound fidelity instrument sounds separation ( perhaps up to seven tracks) discernible using a Marantz 7 pre and a McIntosh MC 250 amplifier from the second run using only the two surround smaller speakers. Cable from Audioquest terminated with banana plugs but not biwired.. as well to the said surround ..needless to say wowed with the results and got my second box ... perhaps until I know a better one without spending a fortune in cabling these 16/2 would be my goto directional super designed speaker wire for projects onward...

Pros:Easy to use directional solid with high quality conductor

Cons:Not detected

AudioQuest FLX/DB 16/2 In-wall Speaker Cable

Haven't used the in wall speaker yet but it looks to be a quality product. I've found that purchases through Crutchfield always start with at least a 3 based on customer service and shipping-the final stars are up to the product. I expect this wire will merit 5 stars when put into use.

Buy this

I thought this was a bit expensive. After working with it, don't think I will use anything else. Red and Black are encased with color! What a concept. Easy to put through a wall. I no longer fear hooking up speakers.

Pros:Spool for keeping untangled, wires color coded, easy to work with

Cons:None

Great wire

Excellent, high quality speaker wire! If you're doing longer runs, I recommend getting the 125 ft or longer because it will come on a spool. This is much easier to use than the 50 ft which comes coiled in a box.

Pros:125 ft and longer comes on a spool.

Cons:50 ft comes coiled in a box.

Great in-wall speaker wire

Great speaker wire. It isn't cheap, however when you are running this through your walls you want something you can feel comfortable with that will last. Feels very durable and easy to fish through your walls.

Great Stuff

Running speaker cables in attic and behind the walls. About a 25' run. This product is flexible but stiff enough to allow me to push the line along. Have not heard the sound quality yet but am sure that it will be great

AudioQuest FLX 16-Gauge

The beauty of purchases from Crutchfield is that you are purchasing the correct product for the outcome you are seeking. If one is placing speaker wire in a wall, it should meet the building codes that were created to protect you. This wire performs that function. Since I am not a builder, I did not know that information. Fortunately Crutchfield did.

Pros:What can one say about the 29th element in the periodic table. It conducts electricity.

Decent wiring

Wiring was fairly easy to work with. The insulation coat was way too heavy which made uncoiling and straightening a bit tricky. Wire would be better suited for amore industrial use and less for a home use. Over all though did the job and is a good quality wire.

Pros:good quality wire.

Cons:Insulating sheath too heavy for small jobs and home installation.

carries the sound and beyond

Well constructed wire and safe for home applications. Easy to route and pulling. I'm running 2 Bowers and Wilkins in ceiling speakers off of it. Even though I over ran it's capacity by 30 feet there's great sound with no distortions or loss of power.

Pros:Flexible and easy to install. Easy to prepare for hook up.

Cons:If you're installing wire yourself it does take some work getting it off the 250' spool.

AudioQuest cable

Got this cable for installation of in-ceiling stereo speaker, and it is a fine product. My electrician was impressed, and the end result is excellent, with good stereo separation in the single speaker.

EXCELLENT SUPPORT!!

I get wire to run three zones (250ft, 125ft and 50ft) This wire is excellent product. Thicker insulation.Good Price. I'm so happy; a soon as I setup and turn on my Yamaha RX-A3020 / Definitive Technology Speakers / Energy Speakers, quality of sound is A+++++. When I ask for questions???? They give me a QUICK call!!!! EXCELLENT SUPPORT!!

Top-Notch Speaker Wire

For most, it's probably a little difficult to get excited about speaker wire. However, the more I learned, the more impressed I was with AudioQuest. From the thoughtful labeling (1-foot markers and "signal direction") to the quality of the copper to the finished product... it was impressive. All this started with my need to run speaker cable through my HOT attic so my new SONOS Connect:AMP could power my outdoor speakers. With some advice from Crutchfield, I settled on this AudioQuest cable... and I'm glad I did. Very high quality.

Pros:quality

Cons:none

Great Speaker Wire

Wire has a very durable cover and the length is stamped on the cover in one foot increments, counting down from the total length; this was very helpful in keeping up with my remaining wire to plan the next run of wire.

Pros:Heavy Duty

Cons:None

Great Speaker Wire

As always Crutchfield delivers, wiring for in celling speakers on a new home we are building, the cover is very durable and was easy to run in the ceiling and through walls. I have no concerns that it will last for the life of my home.

Pros:Wire was marked with the footage starting with the full length and counted down as I used it, this was very helpful in planning my runs of wire.

Easy to Install

Recently installed in my daughter's house before the drywall was installed. No problems, easy to work with. Easy to pull if you can cut your holes before any drywall installation. 16Ga is smaller than I thought and one of the runs is about 25 feet. For the price diff. I should have gotten the 14 AWG. Have not attached to speakers (Def Tech in wall 6.5" CLR).

Hands-on research

Product Research

Features

Overview: The FLX-DB16/2 in-wall speaker cable has two 16
gauge conductors to supply wiring for one speaker. Using Semi-Solid packing, the
individual copper strands within the bundle don't change position, resulting in
reduced distortion. The long grain structure in the low distortion, oxygen free,
high-conductivity copper AudioQuest uses results in a natural sound, uncolored
by the cable. The Star-Quad geometry lowers cable inductance, reducing
susceptibility to external noise sources.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what’s in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

I am remodeling kitchen and need speaker wire that can be installed behind drywall
[ Jeffrey May 05, 2017 ]

Running outside speakers.
[ JAMES Apr 12, 2017 ]

Its as simple as having the combination of being in wall compliant, individual red and black colored lines at a reasonable price.
[ Steven Mar 16, 2017 ]

Needed to wire 6 Polk in-ceiling speakers in 3 different locations in a new construction home. Some long runs back to the amp, and this wire has performed accurately and dependably. Also easy to use for typical hook-ups (i.e. not behind walls/ceilings) Just a great balance of value and performance.
[ John Jan 16, 2017 ]

We've been using it since 2011 and it's been great to work with, easy to fish, strip, doesn't kink and rubber threads inside along wires help with durability and protect from smashing. Good conductivity/no noticable current loss- all we like is background music inside and outside anyhow.
